Good morning everyone!

After an incredible opening day at WTE Miami, we’re thrilled to dive into Day 2. Yesterday’s show started off strong with a successful opening session and inspiring conferences, including the thought-provoking keynote by Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, representing the FIFA World Cup 2026 Miami Host Committee. For those who missed it, you can check out the exclusive interview she gave us, available in today’s edition on page 6.

We also had a powerful session on The Importance of Tourism as an Engine of Economic and Social Development, featuring Ministers and officials from Gambia, Somalia, Namibia, and Uzbekistan. They highlighted the transformative force of tourism on a global scale. And we can’t forget the Women in Travel panel, which was truly inspiring. It was quite the honor to be given the role of moderator for this session.

As we move into Day 2, there’s even more to explore and learn. Don’t miss today’s Luxury Travel session with Ignacio Maza from Signature Travel Network, where he’ll discuss the future of this dynamic sector. You can get a sneak peek by reading the interview with him in today’s edition on page 7. Additionally, sessions on Barcelona Medical Destination and Trends in Travel and Technology are sure to offer valuable insights for the future of tourism.

Be sure to check out Colombia, our Guest Country this year, and Avianca, our Official Airline. They have a range of events and activities at the show, and their presence, along with our other partners and sponsors, underscores the global reach and importance WTE Miami is gaining.

As the day progresses, don’t forget to visit our exhibitors and take full advantage of the networking opportunities available. Finally, join us for the Miami Night Tour and Final Night Party tonight! The tour departs from MBCC at 6:30pm, with a stop at Pier 5 in Bayside at 8:00pm for the final night celebration. It’s a fantastic way to end the day and connect with fellow attendees.

Wishing everyone a successful and inspiring second day at WTE Miami. Let’s keep the energy going and make the most of this incredible event!
